Vitality Shop Balance Update - Death Incarnate now teaches crit chance to every hero. Classes that never could crit before now strike at 1.5× or better when they do. - Fated Strike now grants crit damage. - Deep Lore effect doubled. - Stats panel now shows your crit chance and crit damage. - Already bought crit upgrades? Everything you own keeps working.

New: The Vitality Shop! (Thank you Delka for the idea!) Your Vitality Residue finally has somewhere to go. A brand-new shop of permanent upgrades: - 16 unlocks earned by clearing Echoes and maxing your heroes - Boost hero damage, critical hits, attack speed, coin gain, max HP and more - Max a hero and its signature strength passes to your other classes. - Handy perks: more offline Residue, shorter boss pauses, and auto-Awaken once a region's Codex is complete - An endless upgrade for the most dedicated adventurers. Your Residue is never wasted again.

- Death rewards are no longer lost if the game closes on the results screen. - Smoother performance during combat and when awakening regions. - Offline progress now shows up the first time you reopen the app, and very short sessions now carry over toward your next reward. - The "While you were away" summary now appears even when there was nothing to collect. - Stronger save protection, including a fix for losing rewards when switching universes from the death screen. - Additional stability fixes and polish.

- Offline progress now applies reliably; fixed cases where returning to the game granted nothing. - Offline progress now runs for up to 24 hours (previously 8). - Offline rewards now count even if you left from the death screen, the town, or a paused battle. - Strengthened save data to better protect long-term progress (Renown, hero ranks, and evolutions). - Fixed a rare case where clearing an Echo's final boss could block advancing until you relaunched the app.
